1. IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES?

Refocusing...

If you feel your practice has greater potential, or your business systems are outdated, or maybe your finance person has just resigned, we could be the circuit breaker that gets you on track for success.

Our team can take care of your everyday business management functions, from finance and accounting to IT systems and people organisation. Marketing and communication services can also be provided, covering such aspects as branding, promotional collateral and social media.

Our most important contribution can be assisting you with strategic business planning and change management. Refocusing your way of working means you'll spend less time micro-managing, but the key decision-making will always remain firmly in your hands.

2. SEE WHY WE CAN WORK WITH YOU

Getting it done

We understand all the fundamentals that need to be in place to run an efficient and highly productive design practice.

Our systems provide the critical business information you need to make informed decisions to enhance performance, improve operations and generate more business.

For managing work in progress, we have proven processes to deliver effective project management, resource planning and project costing.

Our reporting includes real time access to powerful analytics that provide visibility into all areas of the organisation, plus the capability to drill-down into more detailed information.

Our methodologies include a systematic approach to carrying out our tasks and keeping you up to date on issues, solutions and opportunities.

The first step is to see whether we can form the basis for a lasting relationship; can we provide the skills you need, are our values compatible and so on.

You can brief us on your aspirations, we can run through our range of services, and together we can agree on what’s needed to transform your business.

We’ll then prepare a proposal that sets out the scope of relevant services, details all the costs and outlines a way of working together.

3. WHO WILL YOU BE WORKING WITH?

Expanding your capabilities

The way we see it is that our people are your people. Led by our executive team, they are expert and experienced in their specialised roles.

The interaction between our team and your people can be as much or as little as it needs to be - and we don't take up any space in your offices.

We meet with you on a regular basis to report on how things are tracking, and refine the way we work together so it is a seamless process.

They brought an order and a logic to things, and very good reporting, so at all times I could access information that allowed me to understand my future commitments and predict those times when we needed to be very careful. Karl Fender

Having Management For Design on board means we don't need to do things that take us away from our core business. It has freed up our Directors to go and win work, produce better designs and give our clients good service. Craig Yelland

We don't worry about anything to do with the financial management of our organisation, because they do it for us and they do it really well. We believe in their capability and they're very diligent. We trust them with everything. Michael Combs

There is no compulsion for the SJB businesses to use Management For Design, however the reality is that no other company provides all of those key services in the one package. The advantage is that even though some of our practices are relatively small, they have all the management firepower of a major company. Charles Justin

A really strong attribute they have is knowing how to ask the right questions and pose scenarios to make improvements. On top of that they're great people to deal with and it's a real pleasure to work with them. They genuinely want their clients to be successful. David Klingberg

We have experience working with several high profile clients across the design industry.

If you are currently one of those clients you can access several online tools to help you in your everyday tasks.
